     7Most major projects/products have some sort of compilmentary project for community-based extensions to the main project/product.

     9Some random examples:
     10
     11 * WPF - [http://www.codeplex.com/wpfcontrib/ WPF Contrib]
     12 * ASP.net MVC - [http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib MVC Contrib]
     13 * Apache Ant - [http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/ Ant-Contrib]
     14 * NHibernate - [http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhcontrib/ NHibernate Contrib]
     15
     16Currently no such thing exists and the closest thing we have at the moment is the [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/CodeSamples Code Samples]. It would make sense for MapGuide to have a "community extensions" sub-project, where users can contribute useful scripts and tools for MapGuide with proper source control and project management.
